SHIPPING-CASE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 242,688, dated June 7, 1881.

Application filed February 3, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it. known that I, CHARLES R. PEASLEE, of Louisville. in the county of Jefferson and State of "Kentucky, have invented a new and Improved Shipping-(Jase; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same. reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention is an improvement in the 01-158 of shipping-cases for large oil-cans,in which interior grooves are provided for reception of the gudgeons or pivots of the can forthe purpose of protecting them while the can is being shipped.

The improvement pertains to the construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

1n the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the case for containing the oil-can. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the base or bottom portion of the case, the can being shown in dotted lines, supported thereon by means of its gudgeons. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the can. Fig. 4 is a detail vertical section of a portion of the can and its case. Figs. 5 and 6 are detail views, showing the parts for attaching the gudgeons to the can. 7

The wooden case is made of two parts, A and B, which may be fastened together by hooks and eyes f. The base portion A has long ends a and narrow sides I), while the top B has correspondingly narrow ends a a and long sides I) b, as shown.

In shipment or transit the can-gudgeons 0 enter and are protected by grooves 6, formed in the ends a of base A, and when the contents of the can are to be discharged the latter is supported as shownin Fig. 2, in which case its gudgeons enter notches d.

It has been found difficult to attach the godgeons of large oilcans of this class securely and at the same time by simple means admitting of expeditious work. The improvement I have made in this direction consists in constructing the gudgeons c with enlarged inner ends and in applying thereto metal strips D, which are perforated to receive the reduced portions of the gudgeons and soldered to the can 0, as shown-that is to say, the narrow strips D are cut from tin or other sheet metal and perforated near the middle of their length. The gudgeons c are then inserted through the perforation and the strips D bent at the middle, so that their ends lie in about the same plane, but at aconsiderable angle to each other, and the imperforate halves of the strips overlap the enlarged inner end of the gudgeons. The gudgeons c and strips D are then soldered together, and the latter soldered to the sides of the can 0, as shown in Figs. 3and 4. This means of attachment for the gudgeons is at once secure and cheap, and may be quickly applied.

What I claim is--- The combination, with the oil-shipping can and its gudgeons c, of the metal strips D, which are perforated, as shown, and bent and applied to said gudgeons so as to overlap their enlarged inner ends, and also soldered to the can, as described.
